The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Special
Education Programs has released question 4 in their series of comment
solicitations as part of the results driven accountability reform currently
underway for IDEA. The Results Driven Accountability process seeks to emphasize
educational results and functional outcomes for students with disabilities and
creating a system that maximizes resources available. OSEP posts each question
on the Department of Education blog to solicit comments from stakeholders and
special educators.

CEC posted about the second question here
and the third question here
in previous Policy Insider posts. In addition CEC has shared input with OSEP on
the reform process through several meetings in Washington, D.C. over the
summer, and will continue to participate in the process.
